Local breeders and I usually gonna see the fish first. And I prefer F1. Don't see a point to get WC with so much fry available from most Tanganyikas. I would only go for WC if tank raised not available or won't be available in foreseeable future.

I voted Online retailers. Part A: These guys are the only way I can get the quality fish I want.I would buy from other troph keepers but, there are none I know of here.
LFS has some good fish but, never the harder to get species or any quantities. They usually have one or two when I show up to buy.
The part B: to buying online is getting ripped off. I have had this happen several times as I cut my teeth with trophs. If anyone out there is considering a pricy online purchase take the advice given here. Also get it in writing (email) what they are going to send you. This way you may have some recourse. Lastly pay with a credit card.
